GameFace (2017–2019): Season 2, Episode 2 - Episode #2.2 - full transcript

Have you spoken to your wife?

Or am I gonna get boiled in a pot

like that poor fucking badger
in Fatal Attraction?

Marcella?

Yes! Calm... Sit down.

Sit. Calm. Shush.

Badger? Why are you talking about
a badger?

Fatal Attraction! Right. OK. You
mean a rabbit, then.

Whatever, Simon. You know what I'm
talking about. What is this?

I'm on my lunch break. I'm temping.

The Dungeons. OK. You need to speak
to your agent. Come on - a monk?!



Have you got an agent?

Sorry, are you seriously nagging me
about my career right now?

OK, then. How's your career going,
Simon?

Yes. It's going pretty well. I got
promoted to senior brand executive.

Remember? I told you at your mum's.

Well, congratulations, but I don't
really care about... Please...

Madam... Sir?

Brother. Brother Donahue.
You'll disturb my customers.

I'm being hunted by a lunatic!

Want a drink? Glass of red?
Prosecco? Or a goblet of mead?

Good one! It's not funny, Simon.
She's been following me for weeks!

Say she... Say she does something!

Oh, come on!

Like what? I don't know! Crawl into
my bed?



Stick a packet of crisps up my
asshole?

You tell me! She's your wife.

Oh, Christ. I know, it's weird,
isn't it? I mean...

I've not really had a chance to see
her like this. You know?

We've only known each other for the
good part of a year.

She's fine. She's fine!

I'm almost certain...
Almost certain?!

She's your wife, Simon! Well, yeah,
for now.

Listen, Tania called me back this
morning. She is genuinely
embarrassed about it.

So that should be the end of it.
It's over. Sorted.

I feel so awful. She was...
She was so upset.

Well, it's not your fault, is it?
I mean, she doesn't know anything
for sure.

I mean, you didn't... Tell her?

It makes me feel worse.

So, she said that you had someone
there with you? Some... Some bloke?

Did she? Did she mention she sang
Dancing Queen stood on top of our
recycling bin?

Right. So there was someone there.

So are you... Are you seeing
someone?

No.

Not any more.

- Not least because your wife came round and called me a potato-shaped slapper in front of hi
- m.

Kind of a boner killer.

Shame.

So, things with Jon didn't go as
planned.

I know. I just told you that.
And you've not spoken to Jon since?

Uh, no... Well,

I, you know, sure, I left a message.

BEEPING

Here's Johnny! Hey, it's me.

Just wondering if you were around
for a catch-up-aroo!

Hello, Jonathan!

It is the ghost of your friend
Marcella!

Oooh! Have you forgotten about me?

Maybe you could call me back when
you get a chance? Have a chat?

Chat-a-chat-chat!

OK. Bye.

Maybe he didn't get it.

He got it. Definitely got it.

So I, uh, yeah, I just... I'm just
gonna have to wait, I guess. Just...

Yeah. Well, I mean, what else can I
do?

Well...

MUSIC: I Apologize
by Timi Yuro

MIMES: # If I told a lie

# If I made you cry

# When I said goodbye

# I'm sorry

# From the bottom of

# Of my heart

# I apologise

MIMES: # If I caused you pain

# I know that I'm to blame

# I must have been insane

# Come on, forgive me!

# From the bottom of

# My broken heart

# I apologise... #

This is a great idea! Jon will love
it!

And maybe with some balloons.

What?! I meant "What else can I do?"
rhetorically!

I'm not gonna organise a fucking
flash mob! Are you out of your mind?

You sneer, but a surprise flash mob
is the height of romance.

- It's on my bucket list! There's no doubt how someone feels about you when you flash mob t
- hem!

Flash mobbing them?

OK. Let's...

What's happening?

Are you OK?

Brmm! ..park Jon.

Oh, my God!

Have you been planning that?

That's ridiculous, what you just
did!

How pleased you are with yourself.
That was rather good, I thought!

Um, now, did you manage to confront
your agent about the lack of work?

I was going to. I'm just... It's
just that I have to... No, not yet.

TOILET FLUSHES

SPRAY HISSES

Oh, hi, Marcella. Sorry, I was just,
um... What did I miss?

BOTH COUGH AND WHEEZE

Oh, not much, kiddo. Not much.

Not much?! Not much! Plenty of much.

All the muches. It's been a big
week, Marcella. I'm on a cleanse.

Dear God! What did you eat? No
offence.

None taken.

It's the spray. It's the flowers
over it.

It's the flowers over it! OK. Let's
try and refocus, OK? So...

COUGHS

..what have we got planned for the
week?

Uh, call my agent. Don't stalk Jon.

Caroline, my flat mate, has won an
award for her work

so I have to go to that, which will
be a fun night(!)

You sound a bit despondent about
that. Has Caroline winning this
award

highlighted for you how far away
from your professional objectives
you are?

Are you feeling resentful?

You got the mean mouth, kid. Just
like your ass.

- I'm not actually that far away from my professional objectives. I'm going to see my agent
- .

When you were stinking out the
toilet I was explaining that, so,
it's not that.

That's not why I'm not looking
forward to it. So what is it, then?

Good evening. And thank you very
much to the CNB for their kindly
invite.

So much sweat. She was like she was
in a Tennessee Williams play.

And this time she's written a speech
and it's for a worthy cause

and the worse thing is, she doesn't
even know she sweats. Ah.

It's gonna be awful. Will you excuse
me?

FARTS

Not again? Open the window!

TOILET DOOR SLAMS

Don't send lilies, darling! It's not
a funeral! Peonies!

Marcella, hello! Hi, Pam.

Thank you so much for seeing me.
I appreciate you're very busy.

Not at all. Not at all. What can I
do for you, darling?

Well, I don't want it to sound like
I'm complaining,

cos I'm definitely not complaining.
Would you like one?

I love a satsuma. They really are
the civilised orange.

Oh. Uh, no thanks. Oranges can be
very acidic. Do continue. OK.

Um, I, er, I guess I'm...

Well...

I feel like I'm not getting very
many auditions at the moment

and I'm working in... I'm redundant.
And it's great... How old are you
now, darling?

Me? Yeah.

28. I will have a satsuma.

What was that? What?

Did you say you were 28?

No!

No, come on! It's probably a bit
longer than that, I should think!

28, you old charmer!

A bit higher, a bit bigger than
that, the age.

I was 28 once, though.

These are so easy to peel.

It's almost like the skin is a size
too big.

Can you do Scottish?

Yes. Will you say "orange" in a
Scottish accent?

SCOTTISH ACCENT: Orange. Apple.

Apple. Shoe. Shoe.

Rebecca. Rebecca.
Liquid. Liquid.

Government. Government. Photocopier.
Photocopier. Award. Award.

Table. Desk. Hair. Necklace.

Owl. Computer. Banana.

Pencil. Sellotape. Blind. OK.

I have no doubt you are very
talented.

You have a big face. And it bounces.

A big, bouncy face is very good for
character stuff.

However,

alas, it breaks my heart.

I'm just so busy at the moment,
we're not taking on any clients.

Don't take it personally.

This bit is just as awkward for me.
It never gets easier.

You're not joking!

You are my agent!

I've been signed to you for three
years, Pam!

OK. I thought I was being paranoid,
but no,

you have actually forgotten me!

Well, I had a problem with opioids
for a few years.

Scottish.

Unbelievable!

- Hey, Jon. Just had a very interesting meeting with my agent you might have found
- funny.

Uh... I'm really sorry about the
other night.

Please, please, please,
please call me back.

Bye. Bye.

MOUTHS

Sorry. I just... I don't feel very
well.

That's a nice dog. Thanks.

What's her name? Pickle.

Pickle. You can stroke her, if you
like.

Hello, Pickle!

Hello!

Hello, Pickle! Oh, you're lovely!

SHE LAUGHS

LAUGHTER TURNS TO TEARS

OK. All right.

OK. Um... OK.

SOBBING CONTINUES

Careful of the snot on her coat.

SHE WAILS

Right. OK, that's enough. Sorry!

Come on, Pickle. Bye-bye, Pickle!

Bye, Pickle.

Oh, hello, good boy!

No. NO!

Pickle.

Oh, no, not today, Linda. I don't
feel great.

I'm sorry about Tania jumping on
your car. I locked myself out. Oh.

That's so annoying!

For you. You must be so annoyed. Let
me have a go.

Don't waste your time. It's got four
automatic deadlocks.

The most secure locks available.

They meet or exceed modern British
BS3621 standards.

- I bought them from eBay, from an account I managed to track to a Nato base in Turke
- y.

I mean...

I could ask if you want to come into
mine,

but I know you want to be here...

guarding your domain.

Right?

SNORING

Jesus!

Linda!

I thought you were Tania!

I'll reimburse you for the tuna.

You've been asleep for...

..three hours...

and nine minutes.

Eh?

I was tired. Sorry.

You must be coming down with
something.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Hey, Jon! 'Hi!' Thanks for calling
me back!

Sorry. Just been a bit busy
the last couple of days.

Oh, yeah. That's cool.

Uh... I was thinking maybe we could
meet up, have a chat?

Are you around tomorrow evening?

Tomorrow evening's not great for me.

Um, I have those classes I was
telling you about. 'What classes?'

'The life drawing classes at the art
college. I mentioned it.'

Oh, yes, you'll be... Get to be
drawing your willies!

'Yeah. Willies, yep.'

I guess, yeah. If I'm lucky!

I could maybe come and meet you
after the class for a drink?

Yeah. I think we have a lesson this
week.

'Can we just chat then?'

About the lessons...

Do you not want to carry on with the
lessons?

No, I... I mean, no, yes!

Yeah, I wanna carry on with the
lessons.

Look, I... I guess... I guess I
could meet for a drink after the
class.

That would be great. That would be
great.

Yeah, that would be... hmm.

Yeah. See you tomorrow. 'OK.'

Bye-bye.

LUCY: 'Marce, are you in the
bathroom?'

'Yeah. Just give me two minutes.
I feel a bit rough.'

TV IS ON NEXT DOOR

Yeah. Is that OK? Pretty groovy.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Are you getting ready? The awards
start at eight.

And I'm not watching her melt on
stage alone.

I think I'm pregnant.

Oh, my God. With who? Simon.

Wh... How... How late are you?

Ten weeks! What the fuck, Marce?
Ten weeks?!

OK.

So how did you not know?

I've got PCOS. I'm always late!

Just not this late.

MAN ON TV: '..Heart failure in more
ways than one.'

Hey, Marce. Hey, Bill.

Mmm... What's happening?

What's this? What's going on?
Everything's fine. Everything's
fine.

I just know you've had a hard time
recently.

I haven't seen you much since I got
out of rehab.

And I'm supportive now, and vegan.

Bar the eggs.

Are you not coming, then?

No, I don't feel well. Aw, that's a
shame!

Stop. What's the touching business?
Stop.

Guys, I need to quickly practise my
acceptance speech.

Thanks so much on behalf of the
Evelyn Project.

I really do appreciate this award.

But as of today, still one in four
children in the UK are living in
poverty.

On behalf of my team, I'm very
grateful for the acknowledgement

but we still have so much work to do
to rid the scourge of child hunger
from the UK,

the fifth biggest economy in the
world.

I share this award with all those
who endeavour with me.

Bleak.

I would start with a few jokes, you
know?

Billy! What? I've got to be really
honest. It's part of my recovery.

It's too much, isn't it? It's a bit
serious. No. No, it was great.

Do it just like that. Perfect.

You're not too hot in that, are you?

No. Yeah, I do think Lucy's right,
you know.

I think lose the cardigan. OK.

Show a bit of skin. Let your skin
breathe.

"Show a bit of skin"?! I'm doing a
speech on child poverty!

Uber's here. OK. Right. Good to go.

Good luck. Have fun.

DAD'S VOICE: Well, you saw the
permit, Kevin, same as me,

so you should have fecking known!

Hey, Marce! Hang on a minute!
Hang on!

What?

I tell you what, Kevin, you are some
kind of a thick fuck.

- What part of you can't close a public road at such short notice? Don't you understand? D
- ad, I...

I tell you what, if we get fined,
I'll fucking come down there

- and ride you around that site like one of the horses you spend all your fecking time worryin
- g about!

- Excuse me, love, have you any more of that muesli, you know, with the raspberries in it? T
- hanks.

Ah, now, stop talking, Kevin!

Do you know what, you sound like
you've got fecking rabies!

Why should I care how many toes a
man has?

He can have fecking toes growing out
of his arse, for all I care!

Oh, thank you very much. Much
appreciated.

Oh, he's gone.

Hey, Dad. How are you, Marce?
Will I give you a ride home?

No, I'm just doing my shopping,
actually, so you can...

Well, I can hang around for you a
few minutes.

No, Dad, I'm...

I need to pick a few things up.

Are you all right?

Right. Come on. I'm taking you to
your mammy's.

No, I can't go... I can't go there,
Dad.

Simon's there.

Right. I know just the place. What?

Come on.

CHILDREN SCREAMING AND SQUEALING

Oh, Marce, if I'd known, I never
would have brought you here.

But you used to love it so much when
you were a kid.

COMMOTION CONTINUES

God, you and Mum were so young when
you had me.

Kids, we were.

Teenagers.

Did you ever regret it?
No. Not even once.

Bollocks!

Even that time we were in that
crystal shop

and I smashed those two vases and he
made you pay £600 cash on the spot?

Oh, Marce, don't be bringing that up
when I'm trying to enjoy my banana
boat here!

Hey, excuse me. Can I get a glazed
cherry here, please?

Awful mean, now, these days, with
the glazed cherries.

Fuck, Dad. What do I do?

I mean, surely I'm too old for an
abortion.

I mean, it could be now or never,
right?

Look, whatever you decide,
I'll support you, right?

Look, you know me. I'm not very good
with all the...

You know, the stuff.

But you won't go short.

But I'm like you, though.

I'm so like you. Say I'm also not
good at the stuff.

Then what? I'm fucked.

I did my best, Marce.

Sorry, Dad. I wasn't having a dig at
you.

Eat your sundae.

On behalf of my team, we are very
grateful for this award.

But we still have so much work to do

to rid the scourge of child
hunger... Oh, my God.

She's actually raining on herself!

This is horrible! We're gonna have
to tell her.

Bloody Cal. You can do it. Nearly
there!

..to share this award with all those
who...

endeavour with me.

Thank you.

Oh, gosh. It's so very hot!

Thank you. Thank you.

WEAK APPLAUSE

CHATTERING

Hey, you! Hey!

Good as new. Almost.

Where are you off to? I'm going to
get a test. What time are you
meeting Jon?

Oh... That's not...

Is that..? Oh, shit!

Shit!

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Really? Yeah!

Hey.

Hi. Um...

This is Sally. She's in the class.

Oh. Hi, Sally, I'm Marcella. Nice to
meet you. Nice to meet you,
Marcella.

I'll let you guys get on.

A bunch of us are round there if you
want to join us after.

Uh, yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Thanks.

He draws beautifully.

You do.

How was the class? Yeah, really
great.

No willies. Shame!

But...

Oh, wow!

What?

It's brilliant.

You OK?

I just... I do... I... I don't know
how...

I need to go to the bathroom.

OK.

I need to go to the bathroom now.

OK. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Do you want a drink?

I don't know yet.

MOUTHS

Uh, hello?

I think I've got someone's pregnancy
test here!

Marcella! Hey!

Is this yours?

What? No! No, that's not mine!

- That's not mine! This woman's just left. Walked out there. Tiny little thing scurried pa
- st.

Oh, God, how funny!

Imagine taking a pregnancy test in a
pub toilet!

People are insane! Right! What was
the result, though?

What?

Just, uh... Just being nosey!

Uh, sorry. There was... a queue.

Uh, listen. You know, I...

I've thought about us and, um...

The way I see it, I think if
something was gonna happen between
us,

is, you know, it would have
happened by now.

You know?

I don't know.

It's just tricky. Why? Why is it
tricky?

Are you still sleeping with him? No!

No, it was just... It was just once.

Just a stupid, stupid drunken
mistake. It wasn't...

Right.

Maybe, you know, we're meant to be
friends.

Just friends.

Right. OK.

I guess.

Yeah. So you agree?

As usual, I'm confused as to what it
is that you want.

Of course I want us to be friends.

I don't... I don't wanna lose you as
a friend.

I just want, whatever happens,
I want us to be friends.

Yeah. I agree. That's great.

Woo!

Good. No more tension. Just do the
lessons, and, um, yeah, friends.

Perfect. Yeah.

I'm just gonna go and join some of
the guys from my class.

So if you... You're welcome to
join us.

Oh. OK. No, it's... Uh, no, I'll go.
I'll head off.

See you later.

Marcella!

Marce!

I didn't know whether to say, so I'm
just gonna say it.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe... Maybe
don't.

Uh, here.

Uh... What? Why?

Uh, tie it round your waist.

Oh, my God! My period!

Thank you. Thank you.

I didn't want to embarrass you and
it's quite a lot.

That's fine. Thank you!

I'm so happy right now!

I'm so happy! Wow. OK. Thank you.

What are friends for? Um...

I'll see you later. Um...

Thanks.
